Tip #1: Grow in the Coldest Room of Your Home
If you plan to grow Oak-leaved goosefoot indoors, make sure to choose the coldest room of your home. This will usually be on the side of your house that doesn’t experience the harsh heat that the sun can produce in the middle of the day. At the same time, you’ll need to ensure the room does get a healthy amount of sunlight. While you’ll want to spare your plants from the brightest and hottest part of the day, zero sunlight can drastically reduce Oak-leaved goosefoot ability to grow.
Tip #2: If Oak-leaved goosefoot Doesn’t Flower Properly, It May Be Too Hot
The growing season for Oak-leaved goosefoot, spring and early summer, can occasionally come with high temperatures. These fluctuations can negatively affect the growing stage of Oak-leaved goosefoot, causing flowering buds to change into non-flowering buds. These buds will open partially, or in some cases not at all, causing Oak-leaved goosefoot to lose some of its aesthetic quality. It's important to stay in the range of 65~75℉(18~25℃), for that reason, so your Oak-leaved goosefoot can flower to its full potential.
Tip #3: Avoid Frost
While Oak-leaved goosefoot can tolerate lower temperatures, as low as -5℉(-20℃), it will not do well if it encounters significant frost. If left out in the colder temperatures of late fall or winter, Oak-leaved goosefoot will begin to show the signs of frost damage. To recognize the signs of frost damage, you’ll look for several key aesthetic changes. First, parts of Oak-leaved goosefoot will begin to wilt. Then, those sections will start to become discolored, eventually turning brown or black as they die. Any parts of Oak-leaved goosefoot that turn these colors cannot be saved, and will have to be pruned if you intend to keep the plant alive.
